Elective groups and floating subjects

Elective groups gather subjects from which students choose one or more. A floating subject lets subjects be available across different groups depending on the configuration.

Create an elective group

1. Click + Elective Group.
2. Enter the group name, e.g. Language Electives.
3. Choose whether floating subjects are allowed in the group.
4. Click Create Course Elective Group.
5. If the course uses GPA, a Last date to choose elective field appears when creating subjects, setting a selection deadline.

What is a floating subject?

Floating subjects add flexibility to how subjects are configured inside elective groups, based on the course and group requirements.

Example: an institution offering French, German and Spanish can configure them more flexibly with floating subjects enabled.

Create a subject group

1. Click + Subject Group.
2. Enter the name and choose whether score calculation is needed.
3. Click Create Subject Group.

You can then add subjects and elective groups to it.
